jtharris3 Posted July 14, 2014 Posted July 14, 2014 Lews speed spool laser mg goes for $65 every day on ebay. But, that is a good deal as the rod is an okay rod. Buying on Ebay sucks. You never know what you're going to get! At least buying from a store you can take something back if it's eff'd up. Quote
jtesch Posted July 14, 2014 Author Posted July 14, 2014 Need your assistance gentleman.....looking at the crucial 6' 8" MH F...for topwater, spinnerbaits and possibly dock skipping jigs. Just looking for some input on choosing the topwater version or the jig/worm version (which is XF). The MH-F would be my choice, a little more forgiving for the spinnerbaits. That rod should do the job Quote
Smallmouth Hunter Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 If your local DSG doesn't carry the veritas anymore, then head to gander mountain (online). They have veritas rods for $65 if you use the "gmt5" code for 5 off, and with free shipping. Quote
TNBassin' Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Am I the only one that has DSG that DOES NOT have any fishing gear? Quote
coak Posted July 15, 2014 Posted July 15, 2014 Am I the only one that has DSG that DOES NOT have any fishing gear? Mine has some......but because of the surburbanites' fascination with running, that's mostly what the stores carry other than other sports parents can blow money on for their kids. Quote
jtesch Posted July 16, 2014 Author Posted July 16, 2014 I have 1 buy me that doesn't, a few others with limited and several with huge fishing sections, the Chicago suburbs have a DSG every 5 miles or so Quote
Kevin22 Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Buying on Ebay sucks. You never know what you're going to get! At least buying from a store you can take something back if it's eff'd up. Buying on ebay is fine as long as you have good reading comprehension skills. If the item does not match the sellers description then ebay will refund your money. So unless you can't read, you should know exactly what you are getting. If not, then you get it free. Quote
einscodek Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 You think Dicks is clearing out crucials nationwide? Quote
raoka Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 i think its safe bet they are clearing stock for the new crucials that will be released. also just fyi veritas are 59.99 online at cabelas...gogo You think Dicks is clearing out crucials nationwide? Quote
kikstand454 Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Went back to DSG yesterday and found three veritas rods for half off the sale price. That's $35 bucks. I bought all of them. They also had the 7'2" crucial mhf for half off 129. Which is $65. Wow! I got two veritas instead though....... Its too bad shipping is so prohibitive- I'd buy it and ship it to someone for cost.

Super User F14A-B Posted July 16, 2014 Super User Posted July 16, 2014 Am I the only one that has DSG that DOES NOT have any fishing gear? No! Mine is right next to a BPS , it use to be awesome, it's more like a flea market now! Quote
crankbank Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 For the fellas on here from Mass, I just swung by the Dick's in Saugus. They had Crucials priced at $129.99 (no extra discount). Had a Mojo Bass Casting Swimbait rod that was $82. Some Bandit cranks were $2.50. Was able to scoop a Lexa 2500 for $71. On display, they had the Lexa 100 for 74$ but didn't have any in stock and wouldn't sell me the display model.... Didn't have time to get a deeper look around, may swing back later one night this week after work. Quote

I picked one up 3 days ago for 79.99 in saugus. I had a $10 off coupon for doing the survey. Quote

cbass12 Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Picked up a 7'2" M/XF and 7'1" ML/F spinning rod for $129 each at BPS today. I'm jealous of you guys finding these rods at dicks for half that price. I've called around to every dicks on the Kansas side of the metro area and have only found one 7'2" MH/F spinning rod which does me no good. At least BPS price matched the cabelas sale price. Quote
billm67 Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 I am in Central Pa and I picked up a 6'6" Veritas casting rod for $35 and the store on the other side of the river I got a Lew Speed Stick combo $35. The Speed Spool is the graphite framed model and it is plenty smooth. The rod is a 6"6" IM6 rod with micro guides. For $35 for the combo it's a steal! Quote
raoka Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 apparently there are certain dicks at are doing 50% off clearance for the rods....i went by again today and no luck just 25...hopefully it becomes nationwide soon enough...haha Quote
Fishing Cop Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I just picked up two crucials at DPS. A 6'8" and a 6' 10" for 89.97. Reg price 149.99. Quote

It's possible they don't have the Crucials marked but they should be clearance priced nationwide, although there are always a few exceptions. As for the Lexa, have them scan it, if it ends with .97 cent ending then they should sell the display. Ask for a manager if you need to. They may not give you an extra discount besides the clearance promotion but they should sell it to you. Quote
raoka Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 just on the forums im seeing guys from florida and kentucky that are able to pick up some rods at 50% off clearance price both the veritas and the crucials Where are you hearing this? Quote

Mine was marked on clearance at 119.99 but when I asked him to scan it, it came up to 89.99. He was even unaware of the price change. Quote
JaxBasser Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Same here. All were marked 119.99 but the guy that worked there used his texlon to scan it for me and it was 89.99. Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted July 17, 2014 Super User Posted July 17, 2014 I picked up a quantum escalade, 48 ton blank, very clean build micros, I mean a extra 7' rod that's got a nice feel? Saves my loomis rods around here pond hopping..... 50% after a mark down came to 24$.. Sweet! Quote

They may not give you an extra discount besides the clearance promotion but they should sell it to you. I actually didn't have them scan the Crucial. There were a few Mojo Bass with the regular $109.99 on the tag, with the same price on a red sticker next to it. I figured the red sticker was there to show a sale, but when I had the man scan it with his gun, it still came up $109.99. Also for any local guys, the 2 Crucials left were the 6'8 and 7'2 Worm and Jig casting models. Like many people have been saying, not all of the employees are aware of the sale. The Lexa 100 on display was $99.97, the employee was telling me it was that price, but after scanning it came out to $74.97. Maybe tomorrow night I will try and find a manager to see if I can buy the display model. I was happy enough walking out of there with the Lexa 2500 (which I just paired with a Lamiglas Excel II 712 from Ron at Valley Sports!). Quote
